England's most capped men love rugby. Ben Youngs is a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole is still in the England squad, and has cult hero status thanks to his no-nonsense approach to most of life’s events.

Love the pod
This is the best rugby podcast I have ever heard!!!You guys are so funny keep making them!!!!!! Thanks 🤩
I can’t believe I’ve just discovered this
Listen to a lot of rugby podcasts but this is becoming one of my favourites. Enjoy the way Ben and Dan provide smart insight without trying to be comedians.
